If you are just starting or only do a round a year or so I say they are great. If you are setting up a more permanent room or want to be more careful I'd go with an appropriately sized can filter.
Thanks duckhead, sounds like im starting to get some balanced perspectives finally. I only grow 2-4 plants at a time but really stinky stuff in flower(bluecheese at the moment). Sounds like you know your stuff since the company suggests a monthly washing regimen. Thanks.

Im going to order it this weekend and ill have an review up a week or so after i try it out on the flowering bluecheese ladies.

Thanks again everybody, i've gotten more useful responses on this site than any other comparable forum. Much love and happy smoking
